Wow, very, very nice.It could be these pics end up on every thread here at BF. Micarta aficionados should check this thread out anyway.
I was so psyched and lucky to be able to snag this one when the listing popped up ever-so-briefly at DLT Trading. The knife is everything I hoped it would be and more. The only downside is that it's probably gonna keep a bunch of favorites outta my pocket for a while.

Wow, very, very nice.
A 3" wharnie?Man, how do I get one of those xm18's without having to sell a kidney?! Love the look of that knife.
That hardware is so wonderfully subdued, a nice blue-gray. Stunning. 7redi on YT just got one of these, but not the incredible hardware. Absolutely fantastic edge on that sucker too! Congrats, that's a keeper. Even the friggin' lanyard.I love the 3" XM18 Wharnie. I've had two before this one and always regretted selling them. They've gotten scarce now, but I managed to pick one up from a good fella who basically threw in almost an entire set of blue anodized hardware to boot. I ordered the missing blue filler tab and handle nuts immediately and everything arrived all at once today.
